2.6.10-mm3: lseek broken on /proc/self/maps

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge]

lseek doesn't seem to have any effect on /proc/<pid>/maps.  It should
either work as expected, or fail.

I've attached a test program which uses a doubling buffer policy to try
to read the whole buffer.  If it runs out of buffer, it simply allocates
a new one, lseeks back to the beginning of the buffer, and tries again.
However, the lseek seems to have no effect, because the next read
continues from where the previous one (before the lseek) left off.

Re-opening the file between each attempt works as expected.
